I have drawn most of my life but it wasn't until I was in my mid 20's when I began drawing portraits. I was inspired to draw a Native American Indian and before I knew it I was on a plane on my way to America. I was guided to the Hopi Indian reservation where I lived for awhile and then spent another 5 years traveling around on my motorcycle, displaying my art at Indian Pow wows and in galleries while meeting an array of amazing people.
I am a total nature lover and was blessed to have some incredible experiences with wildlife while in America as well as in Canada and Brasil after that.
Back in New Zealand now I am focused on doing commissions of pets and family, and loving it. I am a regular at the Coatesville Market in Auckland and the Snells Beach Summer Art Exhibition of which I have won for the last 3 years.
I love getting to know my subjects and their families.
I am flexible and will work with any requests as far as size and also subject - if you can provide me a quality photo, I can reproduce it.
I have also been commissioned to create tattoos and logos.
I am a solo mum with a strong spiritual outlook. I also work as a healer most weekends and from my home, assisting those wanting to change or balance their lives or physical health issues with effective alternative health.
